This student-made documentary film examines the science behind the "abortion pill" in a rare attempt to clearly communicate how the drug(s) actually works. It also addresses the unfortunate state of the US media which tends to report on science without an understanding of the topics as well as without anything but an intention to sensationalize the story.

This film was created as part of a senior thesis research project in a course at Michigan State University. Learn more here: http://www.msu.edu/course/lbs/492/luckie

[RedCedarSpartan]

Wow, how embarassing. Are MSU students really that dumb? Especially women?

[swamilainen]

More children die from this pill than aspirin, tylenol, and ibubrophen combined!

@johnsain i'm scum because i believe in womens rights, and that women should have the right to choose what she wants to do with her body and her life? What if that mother kept the baby and ended up abusing that baby or giving it a bad home? Maybe that lady had been raped? maybe that lady is in a country that doesnt do adoption maybe that lady lives in a 3rd world country. Open your eyes, im for womens rights not killing babies if thats what a woman wants let it be, its not your mistake its hers.

[johnsain]

@jazzigod maybe that's because millions more aspirin pills are consumed?

[johnsain]

@BriannMelo I'd agree to RU-486 use for victims of rape and to prevent evil scum like you from being born.

[BriannMelo]

@johnsain now wouldnt that go against what you believe in? Haha, funny as to the minute you get angry, you refer to my mother, implying she should have had an abortion? Well, your prrobably thhinking welll your a bitch so it would be one less bitch in the world, wich is good, welll this unborn baby could have been a bitch? Your a fucking ignorant twat who needs to shut his face. You don't know shit you don't know what those women are gonig through, it's hard enough having to make it the choice.
